Scale: The Small Yellow Wild Flower 

Source: Scale

PIC_0311

This is a very small wildflower forcing its way out between the bricks. It looks rather huge in this photograph because of the perspective in which the subject is taken. Traditionally speaking, this flower falls under the category of weed. Most gardeners and and garden owners find weeds to be undesirable that must be pulled-out. They do not belong to the architecture of the garden. But I find this little wildflower to be so gorgeous. It seems delicate. At the same time, I wonder whether it is still gorgeous and delicate when it has grown out of control; when it engulfed the whole garden; when culture (garden) is overwhelmed by nature (weeds)?

    • thank you very much for your comment… but i do not mean to imply in any way that it should be controlled or that lack of control is necessarily a bad thing.. 😉 I really think the flower is pretty though.
